Six-seven has also been named the Oxford Children's Slang Word of the Year 2025.

Almost half (47%) of children chose six-seven as their slang word of the year, followed by aura (24%) and delulu (7%).

Mentions of “peace” in children’s stories have increased by 60% since 2015. The runner-up word was “AI”, while perhaps inevitably, the Children’s Slang Word of the Year was “six seven” which OUP generously says “fosters inclusivity and social currency”.
